“Last year was a great success and we already have as many artists as last year signed on to participate and more are rolling in as the deadline approaches,” said Julie Doran, director of the Maplewood Village Alliance (MVA), which along with the Maplewood Department of Recreation and Cultural Affairs co-sponsors the show.

Registration has just been extended to Friday, June 20, said Doran. Artists can register on the MVA’s webpage.

Visitors can shop for fine art and local merchandise and dine at Maplewood’s many restaurants. For more information on the Art Walk itself, visit this page.
